Matching time conditions

Dave, thanks for the reply, but I get a syntax error with that no matter how format it, (even added a HexRTCHour var byte in the code) -

Hmm..

This is from one of mine to change the I2C output to HEX then display the DEC via serial.

I2CRead DS_SDA, DS_SCL, RTC, SecReg, [sec,MINs,hr,day,date,mon,yr] 

SEC_T = sec & $70
SEC_T = SEC_T>>4 'Tens place
Serout2 PORTC.6, 16572,["SEC_T  ",DEC SEC_T, $d, $a]
SEC_O = sec & $0F  'Ones place
Serout2 PORTC.6, 16572,["SEC_O  ",DEC SEC_O, $d, $a]

Dave - I note your deliberate mistake to keep me on my toes

HEXRTCHour = RTCHour $ $70

SEC_T = sec & $70

Thanks - that's compiled - will now go away and play

That was not deliberate... dirty bifocals

LOL -

Dave, whist I can display the DEC value using and LCD using that code, I still can't apply it to a variable that can be worked with,

any ideas... I simply want something like alarmhour= DEC(HEXRTCHour). It seems that whilst you can use DEC to convert and display a value or send a value via coms, you can't directly apply it.

[mackrackit]

I was thinking not to worry about comparing to a DEC. Convert the BCD and compare to the conversion.

If you can not get a solution I will work something up when I get back to the shop tonight.

Dave, something like

HEXRTCHour = RTCHour & $70
if alarm & $70 = HEXRTCHour then
     alarmled=1
    endif

If so then how do I set the value for the variable alarm ?

Thanks for the offer of some assistance. If you prefer to drop me a pm with e-mail addy, it might save space on the forum server ? - there is also no rush...
